Groups are broken. Use access control lists: "man setfacl"
ACLs inherit the brokenness of groups, e.g. it is not possible to enforce that
everything within a certain directory is owned by everyone of a group,
The point is with ACLs you don't need the files to have a specific
ownership (user/group) as long as they have the right ACLs for access.
A good way to do this is to avoid groups entirely and just add the
users you want individually.
This is unmanageable as the people in groups change. When you are
designing operating systems you should understand that underlying data
and work processes may need to survive and be usable for decades as the
hardware and people change. I don't think anyone working with fedora
gets that.
